@AlsintheshopRight! 😂😂😂 Every idea comes from somewhere bc our thoughts are not our own right? Aliens. Angels. God.. call it what you want.. but it all comes from the Source of all Creations. 😊
The fact that the metal casting process you have is so precise that the pieces come out with obvious layer lines it inherited from the original 3D printed pieces is absolutely incredible!
The "sphere" has 60º rotational symmetry, so you can multiply that stroboscope by 6 (n/10 fps): 60RPM = 6fps 120RPM = 12fps 300RPM = 30fps And use a short exposure time (with lots of light) so as not to blur the sphere to help it look stationary.
A stroboscopic light at 1/10 the RPM would give a better effect than changing the exposure, it would also be easier to synchronize with the holes of the copper sphere
@robspiess I thought that if he matches the RPMs to the FPS it should be enough, because each frame would equal one rotation and would capture the truncated icosahedron on the same position every time, making it look stationary, so we should be able to see through one of the openings as if the truncated icosahedron was stationary.
I mean that's a surefire way to get it to look stationary,but given there is a symmetry in the icosahedron, there are multiple sweet fps spots to get that effect. @LeonardoG1981
Cast a thinner/Sand down the inner circumference of the chew toy? Make larger holes in the sphere? Weaker magnet? My thinking is the Hall Effect is overwhelming the power of the magnet because of the volume of copper. Even at slow speeds, there's too much resistence being generated by the sheer volume of copper in relation to the volume/effect of the magnet. In other words, Too much flour, not enough eggs in the cake. Try a larger area around the magnet, a smaller magnet, or less total copper around the magnet via larger holes. One/all of them are your solution. Find a ferrous sphere magnet and see what happens! I bet you could do higher speeds purely because of the MUCH weaker interaction between the materials.
9:31 Although it is difficult to see the manget ball when it is floating, you can still hear it or should I say "not hear it" because when it is floating it does not catch on anything and is therefore silent.
Really clever idea! You might try painting the copper black and playing with the shutter speed of the camera to get a stroboscope effect that will make the copper look like it's not rotating so fast. Alternately do a really slow shutter speed so the cage is a blur and the sphere stands out better since it moves slowly
Hey, love your videos! I was curious as to whether or not you have considered making content about the potential uses of thermoelectrics in personal temperature control? Like a air-conditioning suit using that thermal fabric of yours alongside a thermoelectric cooling pad.
Or put an optical sensor on the drive, place a slotted disk on the shaft, and use a LED lamp, so that the lamp only shines when there is a view into the sphere from the camera. Will need to be optical simply because magnetic will not work with that massive field. Copper sphere would be best also heavily plated with silver, to reduce skin resistance, or of course if it was cast entirely in silver as well, either pure, or alloyed with copper like coins, so you get a harder alloy, but still with lower resistance.
You beat me to suggesting painting the magnet! It's fine, I'm already subscribed to you. I was going to suggest a bright blue paint to contrast with the red copper.
For further automation try measuring the rpm that optimizes the float and gives the "defying gravity" effect. All to say that this is an amazing project, you clearly have sensational skills and a educated mind!
@sleeplessdev7204the small magnet is acting on the large magnet, the copper sphere is only moving because it goes out of balance when the magnet moves.
I really appreciated the process that you used in making the copper object. Printing out a plastic model, covering it in ceramic, and then melting out the plastic, and pouring in the melted copper. Then sand blasting the ceramic shell off in pieces.. brilliant
Using a smaller ball and thinner copper structure would allow the ball to float longer. You and the audience would be able to see the interaction better, making it more satisfying and dramatic! Then, you may even be able to spin the copper at full speed with and motor or drill and get a fully centered ball!. I’d love to see this! Not to take away from this amazing video!!
@johnpauly5524 - Yes, lighter ball, but since the ball is a magnet, I’m not sure it can be hollow. Does anyone know if this particular magnet can be made hollow? This could create a new generation of fidget toys!
@trutwhut6550 If it was possible, I’m thinking he’d eventually calculate and discover the magnets strength to weight ratio. If so, we’d have an awesome follow up video!
I think the coolest effect is remotely turning it with the 2nd magnet. If you made another stand with the 2nd magnet with a crank handle to turn it, and a housing for the 2nd magnet to hide it from view, it would be a fun trick when you tell people to turn it. Don't tell them ahead of time what is actually going on and it will trip people out.
I believe you are really on to something hear try cooling it down and see what effect you can create. By looking at the replies you've gotten, you've got a good potential for brainstorming this concept, However do not listen to Most highly educated Individuals it'll just slow you down.
@SHADOW.GGG- Basically an electromagnetic torque converter. Which is the way an asynchronous motor works - the armature is a piece of solid copper which is energized by inducing a current from a magnetic field in the stator. The torque from the motor is determined by the difference between output RPM and electrical field rotation RPM - torque is proportional to the motor slip.
I do feel you want to wear some kind of mask with fume protection. No experience on this here but I can imagine the molten plastic residue on the bottom would have produced like some toxic fumes burning to that I feel and it might still be lingering in there plenty when you open it up. Just trying to look out for preventing health issues that's all :)
@DJMetalstone you should wear a mask when in the room with any 3d printer. They all give off fumes. But with burning off the pla, you're going to be doing that outdoors, anyway, unless you're crazy, so fumes will be less of an issue.
@ShadowMage3D well when he opened it up wouldn't the fumes get out right in your face ? Just wondering. Since it seems all is kinda trapped inside untill you open it up to keep the heat in. At least that's what it looked like.
Very cool build and process! I also gotta give you props for the details you put into your sound design- most people won't notice it consciously, but you can feel it.
7:55 YOU NEED TO CHANGE AXIS OF ROTATION - that slice is disrupting the eddy current / Lenz’s Law, and the orientation is exacerbating the issue. You're rotating the sphere around the poles, and the slice is along the equator. If you move the axis of rotation to the equator, it will allow for larger, more continuous eddy current loops to form. There’s a short titled “Can a non-magnetic material be stopped by a magnet?” by tamuphysastr that overviews this concept pretty well
Or have a different design for the copper sphere that allows the eddy currents to form. The structure of the sphere, with all those holes, is limiting the size of the eddy currents. Try a sphere with bands perpendicular to the axis of rotation. I'd also try it with the cylindrical magnet inside the sphere.
No rotating over the poles. The magnet will always turn to align its poles with the axis of rotation, i.e. so that it feels the lowest forces. For the same reason it starts rotating with the sphere until the speeds match, the eddy currents cease, and it stops levitating :(
It's 100% the shape. It's creating patterns in the eddy currents which want to follow the shape of the copper. Remaking the mold with a band like structure (Think a spherical set of jail bars that meet at the poles) might give a better result. Or, if you wanted to have the bars of copper going along the axis of rotation, clip them in a cage like formation with plastic bars running one way and bands of copper running the other.
I love that you keep all the "repetitive" dialogue in the video. Makes brain feel good. The ceremic slurry, FUSED sillica sand, vitrify the shells, melt out the plastic etc. etc. My personal favorite are the Petrobond videos where you compact the sand and cut out a path for the metal to flow into
The video has a slightly hypnotic, ASMR quality to it. Now make into a long loop where at the end you set down two copper icosahedrons right next to two you’re just starting…then loop the video. Make the run time total if, say, 60min. ✅ASMR-induced sleep: Mission accomplished !
My 11 year old son and I watched this video and got so inspired! Thank you so much for sharing all of your incredible work. He loves magnets and mechanisms and we have all the equipment to do these experiments (although on a smaller scale). Can't wait to see what you do next!
Actually as it is have many holes , this really reduce eddy cuurent as resistance gets larger in the sphere thing and so the the magnet can not have the suspension force like in a solid cylinder so i think this is the most you can get out of it Also the split between the 2 Half's of the sphere reduce eddy current and increase resistivity as there is a layer of air between them ( even if they are touching it is higher resistant that the copper it self ) But awesome design non the less
@popofouad in my opinion the gab between the spheres reduces the current, maybe it would help, if he would use solder to close the gab (but you have to be careful, magnets doesn't realy like heat)
@unknownxy8026The sphere is not a magnet. It only becomes one momentarily, when a magnetic force changes within or around it. So it should be totally fine to solder it
Best comment. The eddy's are being cut where they would naturally lie and it changes the properties. It need to be solid. Gonna have to look inside another way. At least you can hear if it's floating.
I've never commented on a video before, So here goes. Firstly that copper sphere is really nice, well done. Now mount that circular magnet under a wooden table and attach it to a motor so that it's rotation reacts with the sphere on top of the table. That would look super COOL. 10 / 10 from me.
@louienoble4179I don't think so. Just part of the routine in order to get an idea of a certain project that needs some figuring out like any other project. In other words, experimenting, which is a genius routine when figuring things out is at hand
Has anyone asked you if the floating ball has any potential energy when held by the copper field? If you place the copper on a scale and add the ball, does the scale change? If not, then the magnetic field behaves similar to water pressure on the hull of a ship.
I've seen many videos. Your subject matter is impresive. You have mixed foundry with physics and video production all together with your own experience and interests. You have captured me as a follower.
Because the sphere is polygonal magnetically the magnet will see a bumpy surface, the join line being down the middle will make it even worse because the magnet only 'sees' loops of copper as electromagnets, and the join line breaks lots of loops of copper which ought to be there. This will make the centrifugal force problem much worse as the magnet is being effectively grabbed by the bumps. I think you could get the effect you want by making the sphere out of a series of copper rings held together by something non conductive. That way the symmetry isn't broken and the ball should levitate smoothly.
Kinda cool when a channel I've been following out of interest in metal casting commits to building an experiment that attempts to demonstrate a physics principal.
I have been working the last 45 years for one of the largest investment casting companies in the US. We have been using stereolithography for creating patterns for developmental parts since 1988. I am the RP engineer who does all the CAD work and setup for building on our 9 3D systems SLA machines. We have been casting patterns in Superalloys and Titanium of up to around 70" diameter. These are structural components for jet engines. Many with complex geometry and passages. We have even used ceramic cores assembled into the patterns for passages that would be hard to invest. I really love watching many creators now printing PLA and other materials and casting them. It is so cool that now there are so many home sized printers available at reasonable prices. Our machines were in the $500k to $700k when we were purchasing. As mentioned in the comments your castings came our really nice, even just after knockout.
When I worked in a foundry, casting art pieces in bronze via the lost wax method predominantly, we used a compressed air gun with a small jack hammer like fitting to press against the sprue and vibrate the silica shell off of the actual piece thereby saving it from damage, and I can confirm that large pieces of shell falling off was most satisfying, as well as revealing the treasure inside of course. Great to see you doing it in what is essentially a backyard operation. We were a relatively small company and also made a lot of our own equipment including our furnace made inside an old 64 gallon drum.
Your pre-visualization, planning, industriousness, and execution are astounding and beyond admirable. Please start a Bill Nye/Beakman-esque show so you can share what you’ve got. My son and I would LOVE it. Keep it up Captain. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
YT just served your channel to me for the first time, as far as I know. As an electrical engineer, this was very interesting to watch and learn from. Thanks !! and yes, I am subscribing !

How many of the ancient mysterious artifacts were one-off experiments by one or two people?
By that time this would just be some "dumb ancient tech" 😅
@SyntheticFuture nah, by then it will be forgotten and seem strange, just like the indian sound induced stuff 😂
@JB-fh1bb yeah,like those dinky little pyramids and monoliths all over the globe. lol. Maybe just a little different. no?
Just give it to a flat-earther or area 51 fanatic now and watch the conspiracy theories fly 😂
The copper sphere is by itself just cool to look at.

The fact that the metal casting process you have is so precise that the pieces come out with obvious layer lines it inherited from the original 3D printed pieces is absolutely incredible!
I also saw thi! It's amazing. Looks like he printed it on some 3d printer from future (that can print precisely with melted copper)
I’m a goldsmith and we can pour metal to 0.2mm thickness. It’s amazing.
Copper is also notoriously difficult to cast and he didn't even mention it O_O
@bundzmykhailo3733 There are metal 3D printers, but from what I understand they are bulky and work way different to plastic printers.
This is called investment casting. Look up lost wax casting. Been around for a while
I want the chemical engineer that commented on the salt casting video to comment “hey chemical engineer here wtf!!!”

A foul darkness has seeped into my temple.
11:01 when drilling at n rpm, put the camera to n/60 fps to make it seem like the sphere is not rotating
of have long-enough exposure time to fully blur the sphere at speed
The "sphere" has 60º rotational symmetry, so you can multiply that stroboscope by 6 (n/10 fps):
60RPM = 6fps
120RPM = 12fps
300RPM = 30fps

Try using a somewhat smaller spherical magnet. Something with less mass. Very cool !
Underrated comment.
Yup!
I'd use a small magnet.
hollow sphere supermagnet? Even a bunch of those bucky ball magnet toys of tiny magnets on a thin sphere would be cool
Cast a thinner/Sand down the inner circumference of the chew toy?
Make larger holes in the sphere?
Weaker magnet?
My thinking is the Hall Effect is overwhelming the power of the magnet because of the volume of copper. Even at slow speeds, there's too much resistence being generated by the sheer volume of copper in relation to the volume/effect of the magnet. In other words, Too much flour, not enough eggs in the cake.

This is how miniature black holes open up in your living room. Maybe. 🙂
The layer lines showing up in the cast is not something I was expecting. Really a testament to how effective and precise your methods are. Well done!
then go make your own
@Dinpuia-sailo What are you even talking about?

I was waiting for time itself to fracture when you hooked up that drill - LOL
11:46 - this is more interesting than floating sphere for me
Agreed, I'm surprised the small magnet is able to rotate something so heavy from such a distance.
I'd love to learn more about how that works!
And will the small magnet still rotate the sphere if it doesn't have the spherical magnet inside?
@sleeplessdev7204the small magnet is acting on the large magnet, the copper sphere is only moving because it goes out of balance when the magnet moves.
Maybe it can be used for wireless mechanical gear?
Put it on a scale and spin it
I really appreciated the process that you used in making the copper object. Printing out a plastic model, covering it in ceramic, and then melting out the plastic, and pouring in the melted copper. Then sand blasting the ceramic shell off in pieces.. brilliant
I would have never thought of this process, it's way too complicated for my brain.
Using a smaller ball and thinner copper structure would allow the ball to float longer. You and the audience would be able to see the interaction better, making it more satisfying and dramatic! Then, you may even be able to spin the copper at full speed with and motor or drill and get a fully centered ball!. I’d love to see this!

@johnpauly5524 - Yes, lighter ball, but since the ball is a magnet, I’m not sure it can be hollow. Does anyone know if this particular magnet can be made hollow? This could create a new generation of fidget toys!

gearbox drive,no touching parts?
It would be like magic! Lol! Of course, anything that someone doesn't know how it works could seem like magic too.
I believe you are really on to something hear try cooling it down and see what effect you can create. By looking at the replies you've gotten, you've got a good potential for brainstorming this concept, However do not listen to Most highly educated Individuals it'll just slow you down.
He could make a wooden base that contained a rotating magnet to "wirelessly" rotate the "sphere".
@SHADOW.GGG- Basically an electromagnetic torque converter. Which is the way an asynchronous motor works - the armature is a piece of solid copper which is energized by inducing a current from a magnetic field in the stator. The torque from the motor is determined by the difference between output RPM and electrical field rotation RPM - torque is proportional to the motor slip.
I believe I've seen this before. It came up in my feed again.
Idea: Get a motor you can precisely tune the rotation speed, and a strobe light triggering every 72° of the shaft rotation.
The quality of that casting is magnificent! Really impressive job!
I think one of the coolest parts of your video is actually the casting method you used! I have never seen that before. It makes me want to try this!
It's called lost pla casting. I've seen it used a few times in videos
I do feel you want to wear some kind of mask with fume protection.

This really deserve a second part, the copper sphere is a cool project on its own
Very cool build and process!

This must be one of the coolest casts I've seen.
7:55 YOU NEED TO CHANGE AXIS OF ROTATION - that slice is disrupting the eddy current / Lenz’s Law, and the orientation is exacerbating the issue.

Its just friction/resistance. Hes flipping the poles so the other magnet flips to match and turns the copper
maybe put the 2nd magnet on motor & see what happened next?
@norbertwu8389I thought the same! A motor would make it easier to adjust the rpm to precisely what’s needed for the ball to float stably
same, basically using a push rod design and would have a working magnetic / copper perpetual generator?
WOW those Castings did come out great !
That's the most intricate stimming tool I've ever seen.
My 11 year old son and I watched this video and got so inspired! Thank you so much for sharing all of your incredible work. He loves magnets and mechanisms and we have all the equipment to do these experiments (although on a smaller scale). Can't wait to see what you do next!
4:23 - AGHHH! That spillage hurts my heart.
12:16 cool watching the magnetic force push your hand down before the ball touches the metal (slowed down to 0.25 speed)
Actually as it is have many holes , this really reduce eddy cuurent as resistance gets larger in the sphere thing and so the the magnet can not have the suspension force like in a solid cylinder so i think this is the most you can get out of it
Also the split between the 2 Half's of the sphere reduce eddy current and increase resistivity as there is a layer of air between them ( even if they are touching it is higher resistant that the copper it self )
But awesome design non the less
I wonder if "stripes" with a few supporting cross members instead of hexagons would have been better.
@popofouad in my opinion the gab between the spheres reduces the current, maybe it would help, if he would use solder to close the gab (but you have to be careful, magnets doesn't realy like heat)
@unknownxy8026The sphere is not a magnet. It only becomes one momentarily, when a magnetic force changes within or around it. So it should be totally fine to solder it
I agree I think the split may be effecting it significantly, those two sides need to be brazed together
Best comment. The eddy's are being cut where they would naturally lie and it changes the properties. It need to be solid. Gonna have to look inside another way. At least you can hear if it's floating.
That is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen on RUclips. Nice job!
9:38 it feels like music when the silence comes because it's floating
Thanks for all this work and the video ❤️🤜🏽🤛🏽
1:55 get out of my mind 😂
😂😂😂
Gregging your doucett
Seductively coats your mold
You dirty beggar, you! 😂
@oger_ROG I found another greggy boy hells yeah 🔥
I love that you can see the layer lines in the copper
_on_ the copper
I've never commented on a video before, So here goes.
Firstly that copper sphere is really nice, well done.
Now mount that circular magnet under a wooden table and attach it to a motor so that it's rotation reacts with the sphere on top of the table. That would look super COOL.
10 / 10 from me.
U mean the cylindrical magnet? Yes, please. And how bout the cage sans spindle "walking" across the table?
frequency of green or opposite colour rotation wavelength
So was this a trick video?
@louienoble4179I don't think so. Just part of the routine in order to get an idea of a certain project that needs some figuring out like any other project. In other words, experimenting, which is a genius routine when figuring things out is at hand
Has anyone asked you if the floating ball has any potential energy when held by the copper field? If you place the copper on a scale and add the ball, does the scale change? If not, then the magnetic field behaves similar to water pressure on the hull of a ship.
Rotation the magnet with another magnet is like magic.
I've seen many videos. Your subject matter is impresive. You have mixed foundry with physics and video production all together with your own experience and interests. You have captured me as a follower.
That's a very insightful comment. Thank you.
I love what you did here! You hit so many disciplines: physics, additive manufacturing, ceramics, molding techniques. The keg kiln is great!
Great idea and even better execution. What a beautiful object! Thanks for sharing :)
I like the Idea that a Hotline Miami type soundtrack is always playing INSIDE your sand blaster. 😂
More Cyberpunk I'd say. 🤔
@Gortall yeah, that sand blaster is stuck on the cyberpunk start screen 😂
Watching people make things is brilliant. Very satisfying to follow.
Normally, I am very impatient with RUclips videos - I'm a cut to the chase kind guy. THIS video is well worth watching from start to finish. Bravo!
that thing doesn't defy gvavity - bcz there is no gvavity! In this Universe laws of Thermodynamics cannot be broken, its just how it is.
@OutlawTV89 Good luck with defending your thesis.
@grandlotus1 I don't need to. Laws of theromodynamics are doing it for me. You cannot defy that. End of story
I needed double-speed. BRAVO!
@ Clearly, you have knowledge the world desperately needs. May all Heaven's Blessings come to you and yours!
So satisfying to watch videos like that
the spinning of the sphere with the donut magnet was nice
6:52 The terror look of "Please don't break!"
Because the sphere is polygonal magnetically the magnet will see a bumpy surface, the join line being down the middle will make it even worse because the magnet only 'sees' loops of copper as electromagnets, and the join line breaks lots of loops of copper which ought to be there. This will make the centrifugal force problem much worse as the magnet is being effectively grabbed by the bumps.
I think you could get the effect you want by making the sphere out of a series of copper rings held together by something non conductive. That way the symmetry isn't broken and the ball should levitate smoothly.
Bussard fusion
Yes, probably a non polygonal circular surface would work better ... Still, I'm positively impressed
I think you may be on to something here; but I see half (slightly less than) circles connected together in end caps with copper screws
What if it was just a copper hollow sphere with holes drilled into it to see inside or slots cut out?!
What if it was more like a tyre or just a ring?
Even just seeing the copper sphere crafted was cool
Okay, so the making of the sphere was so very satisfying. Well done.
You are a hell of a craftsman.

Nine times?
Nine times
Nine times
Lol, I thought the same thing
@RobotWorker100percentLoyal 😂
I can see some very interesting applications for this.
Kinda cool when a channel I've been following out of interest in metal casting commits to building an experiment that attempts to demonstrate a physics principal.
I have been working the last 45 years for one of the largest investment casting companies in the US. We have been using stereolithography for creating patterns for developmental parts since 1988. I am the RP engineer who does all the CAD work and setup for building on our 9 3D systems SLA machines. We have been casting patterns in Superalloys and Titanium of up to around 70" diameter. These are structural components for jet engines. Many with complex geometry and passages. We have even used ceramic cores assembled into the patterns for passages that would be hard to invest. I really love watching many creators now printing PLA and other materials and casting them. It is so cool that now there are so many home sized printers available at reasonable prices. Our machines were in the $500k to $700k when we were purchasing. As mentioned in the comments your castings came our really nice, even just after knockout.
Amazing craftmanship and patience!
Great metal work. Also very good media video efforts.
I so wish my brain could be this creative, precise and accurate
6:38 those print lines were hilarious, made it look like you 3D printed copper
Me omw to be a 2047 3d printed copper merchant called Ez Nazir
@The_Govermnent (starts etching a complaint letter onto stone)
Shows how fine the resolution of the casting medium was!
Every aspect of this project is wonderfully satisfying
Great Project - and cool display piece after as well.
When I worked in a foundry, casting art pieces in bronze via the lost wax method predominantly, we used a compressed air gun with a small jack hammer like fitting to press against the sprue and vibrate the silica shell off of the actual piece thereby saving it from damage, and I can confirm that large pieces of shell falling off was most satisfying, as well as revealing the treasure inside of course. Great to see you doing it in what is essentially a backyard operation. We were a relatively small company and also made a lot of our own equipment including our furnace made inside an old 64 gallon drum.
I can't believe how heat resistant that ceramic shell is. very cool process. and great video!! thanks for sharing!
Bro. Watching Dan da dan then seeing your thumbnail. It's too much 😂. Great video!!
I actually binged the show in a day
This man has a lotta free time on his hands
"And subscribe for future projects" You're god damn right I will!
Your pre-visualization, planning, industriousness, and execution are astounding and beyond admirable. Please start a
Bill Nye/Beakman-esque show so you can share what you’ve got. My son and I would LOVE it. Keep it up Captain. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
YT just served your channel to me for the first time, as far as I know. As an electrical engineer, this was very interesting to watch and learn from. Thanks !! and yes, I am subscribing !
Cool im just getting this in my reccomended exactly 1 year later.
I wanna be honest, I could watch a 1h video of you sanding those shells.... 5:56
